Hi folks. Nice to see there's a coupla' new names on the blog site - welcome. You will quickly notice there are a few headbangers going on the trip - particularly the Celt contingent from Scotland and Ireland (of course I include myself among the aforementioned). I don't think it's going to be a boring trip and I don't expect it will be difficult making friends as I see from the tone of the blogs that there are already strong relationships being established. Excellent. Just what the blog was set up for.
Anyway, I hope everyone is getting organised as successfully as I am (coughing up my sleeve). But with just over a week to go I guess we'll just have to knuckle down and get it sorted - I know I will.
See you all soon.

Welcome to the Advocates' Peru Tour website.
Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Peru from the 5th to the 16th of February 2008 to see the work of Compassion.
Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.
The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Peru and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

I thought you had been very quiet there for a while Al, welcome back!
Hey its only a week for us now isn't it!?
See ya soon,
Maria
Me? Quiet? That is something I can honestly say I have never been accused of. Nah, I hadn't been quiet, I've been busy, that's all. You posted your blog late. Burning the midnight oil were you Maria? Can't sleep for the excitement? I know how you feel. My friends in work are sick of me saying, "...only 12 days to go, only 11 days to go, only 10 to go..." Mind you, I've been counting down like this since October so I guess they have a right to get fed up listening to me. I'm the one going away, but they'll get the holiday.
C'ya.

Thats real weird, I blogged that this morning, so I don't know why that time came up. I never stay up that late! Not with 4 kids to catch up with in the morning! The excitement is something else eh! You never stop thinking about it, I can't wait to meet my kids.
One week to go!

glad everyone's organised & got packing done!! If like me it will be down to Monday last minute. This week very busy with clients all wanting to see me before I go & trying to sort kids etc. Just heard youngest who is disabled has lost her benefit so have to get gov depts to sort that this week & they are VERY slow. She's also broken her mobile so that needs sorting too - still I have nothing else to do!!!!
O Lyn i know how that feels, so much to put together here before i go as well. I have 2 kids with special needs, and having to leave everything organised for them!
